Sand dune silliness in the shop
With Gravity Throtttle Racing (GTR) set to debut their new sand dune track which according to the Facebook will require vehicles with 1/4"wide tires. I sort of freaked out as I have no experience with such vehicles on a track or anywhere. So I rushed out to Target and bought a 5 pack of Mud Studs and then a few separate off roaders at a big box store.
Then the following silliness took place in the shop.

I am right there with you! My next section of track will have these whoopdies and curves...
Fun project... looks good!
Wow! I love what you did, but i promise my sand dunes wont be quite that torturous. I'm gonna post a few Sand Dunes demo races after the Bison challenge finals. This will help you see how the different wide knobby vehicles perform.
- looks great! — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
- Looking good, can't wait to race on it! I made my account right after the Bison Challenge filled up :( — ManiacMotorsports
- Just saw on Facebook... YAY!! — ManiacMotorsports
- Oh my what wide wide tracks you have leading to your seductive sand dunes. Looks like a good time oh yes it does. — AbbyNormal
- Do I detect a model railroader? Looks suspiciously like former benchwork me... ;) Can't wait to see it done! — Zamak_Speed_Shop
- So is it just gonna be a bumpy dragstrip? — lacuevadiecastracing
Figured I might as well post a few pics of my off-road track
- looks good! You made a lot of progress! — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
- Thank you! — ManiacMotorsports
- Wow that is quite a setup you have in progress. Nice work. Mine is just an old 2x4 with shipping tubes cut in half. — AbbyNormal
- Very nice! — GravityThrottleRacing
- Great work! — CanesBart
- Thanks all! — ManiacMotorsports
Wow that's an awesome idea. The first Hummer looked like it had little problems going through. Sounded like it would have gone a lot further too.
- I was mainly just goofing around with the whole thing but now I’m really looking at something to test these wide track vehicles out on. Off to the hardware store — AbbyNormal
I found that running as fast as i can, and launching my car with my left hand onto the roof of the house, gave a fairly accurate description of how my car will handle the GTR track :)
For the record, I'm right handed.
- Lol!!!! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- perfect! I have often tossed them into the woods after the race to ensure it would not contaminate future builds... — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
- This is WAY TOO funny! What a ham!! — GravityThrottleRacing
All a bit of fun, enjoy!
